The Church’s mission is to save souls. Evil, in this world, comes from sin. Not from income disparity or “climate change”.

Dr. Anca-Maria Cernea

Dr. Anca-Maria Cernea, Doctor at the Center for Diagnosis and
Treatment-Victor Babes and President of the Association of Catholic
Doctors of Bucharest (Romania) made the following presentation to Pope
Francis and the Synod bishops on Friday:

Your Holiness, Synod Fathers, Brothers and Sisters, I represent the Association of Catholic Doctors from Bucharest.

I am from the Romanian Greek Catholic Church.

My father was a Christian political leader, who was imprisoned by the
communists for 17 years. My parents were engaged to marry, but their
wedding took place 17 years later.

My mother waited all those years for my father, although she didn’t
even know if he was still alive. They have been heroically faithful to
God and to their engagement.

Their example shows that God’s grace can overcame terrible social circumstances and material poverty.

We, as Catholic doctors, defending life and family, can see this is, first of all, a spiritual battle.

Material poverty and consumerism are not the primary cause of the family crisis.

The primary cause of the sexual and cultural revolution is ideological.

Our Lady of Fatima has said that Russia’s errors would spread all over the world.

It was first done under a violent form, classical Marxism, by killing tens of millions.

Now it’s being done mostly by cultural Marxism. There is continuity
from Lenin’s sex revolution, through Gramsci and the Frankfurt school,
to the current-day gay-rights and gender ideology.

Now the revolution goes deeper; it pretends to redefine family, sex identity and human nature.

This ideology calls itself progressive. But it is nothing else than
the ancient serpent’s offer, for man to take control, to replace God, to
arrange salvation here, in this world.

It’s an error of religious nature, it’s Gnosticism.

It’s the task of the shepherds to recognize it, and warn the flock against this danger.

“Seek ye therefore first the Kingdom of God, and His justice, and all these things shall be added unto you.”

The Church’s mission is to save souls. Evil, in this world, comes from sin. Not from income disparity or “climate change”.

The solution is: Evangelization. Conversion.

Not an ever increasing government control. Not a world government.
These are nowadays the main agents imposing cultural Marxism to our
nations, under the form of population control, reproductive health, gay
rights, gender education, and so on.

What the world needs nowadays is not limitation of freedom, but real freedom, liberation from sin. Salvation.

Our Church was suppressed by the soviet occupation. But none of our
12 bishops betrayed their communion with the Holy Father. Our Church
survived thanks to our bishops’ determination and example in resisting
prisons and terror.

Our bishops asked the community not to follow the world. Not to cooperate with the communists.

Now we need Rome to tell the world: “Repent of your sins and turn to God for the Kingdom of Heaven is near”.

Not only us, the Catholic laity, but also many Christian Orthodox are
anxiously praying for this Synod. Because, as they say, if the Catholic
Church gives in to the spirit of this world, it is going to be very
difficult for all the other Christians to resist it.

This website is dedicated to a renewal of Christian culture. It is inspired by Sir Winston Churchill, a valiant defender of Christian civilization, who believed "we have a great treasure to guard; that the inheritance in our possession represents the prolonged achievement of the centuries." With Churchill, we believe that a "fraternal association" of the English-speaking peoples must "for their own safety and for the good of all walk together in majesty, in justice and in peace.”
